Kevin + Ann Highlights
Kevin & Ann’s wedding was extremely fun, yet very emotional. I didn’t even realize how much of that I had captured until I started going through the footage. This clip alone really captures the feeling that everyone had that day, but I can’t take all the credit. Just watching Ann’s face throughout the day captured her true happiness and you can see how much she loves Kevin just by the way she looks at him.
Here are the highlights from the wedding!

Laura + Corey Trailer
Laura & Corey were so easy to work with because they were laid back and very go-with-the-flow on their wedding day. It was definitely a bit colder that day but they braved the weather and it made for some good video time. They also had custom made shoes that they wore for the reception. Definitely a nice touch and I’m sure it was a lot more comfortable wearing those the rest of the night.
Here is a little preview from their wedding!

Rachel + Jason Trailer
A few weeks ago, we headed to Dubuque for Rachel & Jason’s wedding. They are an amazing couple and it was pleasure getting to spend the day with them. It was fun, yet very calm and emotional.
I don’t typically use much black and white but it seemed to fit the piece quite well and helped in keeping it subtle and emotional. The pace and music of this trailer really portrays the overall feeling of the day and it was also their first dance song. Enjoy!
Brian + Kelly Movie Poster
Here is another poster I finished awhile back for Brian & Kelly. The photo came from their trash the dress shoot that we did with them.

Rachel + Jason Highlights
Rachel and Jason were an amazing couple to work with and I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit over the last year. Rachel is one of our blog addicts er, followers 
She always keeps me on my toes if I start to let too much time pass before I post another video. She’s been waiting for this day for a long time now so here it is!
Updates!
Well it’s been an amazing and crazy year. We still have quite a few weddings in the next 2 months, and a New years eve wedding that should be a great way to finish the year! The blog has been slow but it’s about to blow up with many new trailers and videos, so stay tuned!
We had the pleasure heading out to San Francisco a few weeks ago to shoot some material for Holly & Dave who will be getting married in Des Moines next summer. It was an amazing trip and great change of scenery. I’ll have a sneak peek of their love story and engagement shoot on the blog soon.
We received 3 more awards this year for our cinematography work. I have a blast putting these together but have to thank all of our couples for the inspiration and creativity that I get from them as well. You are the subjects and the ones who create all of the joy and emotion of the day. I’m simply there to capture those emotions and retell your story. You make that possible!
In January, I’ve been asked to be a featured speaker at the Illinois videographers association in Chicago. I was happy to be invited to speak on certain aspects of our cinematography and the industry. It should be a fun experience that I’m very much looking forward to.
